1. A track release module for a vehicle seating assembly comprising:
a seat frame slidably coupled to a track assembly and rotatable about an axis transverse to a front of the seat frame and movable between a sitting position and a standing position; and
a track release bar extending between opposing sides of a seat frame and rotationally coupled to a pair of cam assemblies disposed above a pair of track assemblies, wherein placement of the seating assembly in the standing position allows the seating assembly to slide along the track assembly between a first position and a second position, and wherein a movement of one of the pair of cam assemblies between a locked position and an unlocked position causes the track release bar to move the other of the pair of cam assemblies between a locked position and an unlocked position.
